NEET 2026 Re-Exam: Odisha DGP Deploys Three-Tier Security System - Video

Ahead of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination scheduled for June 21, Odisha Director General of Police (DGP) Y.B. Khurania on Tuesday reviewed security and administrative preparations to ensure the examination is conducted smoothly and without any irregularities. Chairing a high-level meeting, the DGP directed district Superintendents of Police and senior officers to implement a three-tier security system across all examination centres and other sensitive locations.

The NEET-UG retest will be held at 132 examination centres across the state. Officials discussed security arrangements, CCTV surveillance, protection of question paper storage lockers, deployment inside and outside exam venues, traffic management, and emergency response measures.

The DGP also instructed officials to intensify social media monitoring, keep cyber cells on high alert to curb misinformation and rumours, and conduct advance inspections of all security arrangements before the examination. Strict protocols have also been mandated for the secure collection and transportation of OMR sheets from examination centres to designated safe locations after the test, according to The New Indian Express.

Warning that no security lapse or irregularity would be tolerated, Khurania directed all police officers to remain fully prepared for the incident-free conduct of the examination. Meanwhile, the Odisha government has announced free bus travel for NEET candidates and will conduct a mock preparedness exercise on June 20.
